The second T20 International match between Ireland and West Indies will be played today on 14th June 2025 at Bready Cricket Club, Bready. This is the second game of the three-match T20 series, and both teams will give their all to secure a win. The first match of the series was abandoned due to rain.
West Indies will take the field with their strong batting line-up, led by captain Shai Hope. The top-order responsibility will lie on the shoulders of Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles. In the middle order, Jason Holder, Shimron Hetmyer, and Romario Shepherd are expected to play key roles.
In the bowling department, the trio of Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, and Alzarri Joseph will lead the spin and pace attack. The Caribbean squad needs a win as they were recently clean sweeped by England in both ODI and T20I series.
On the other hand, the home team, Ireland is going to be led by the veteran Paul Stirling. Harry Tector, Lorcan Tucker, Joshua Little and Mark Adair are expected to play the key roles for Ireland. Let’s discuss how the pitch will behave in the 2nd T20I.
Bready Cricket Club Ground Pitch Report – IRE vs WI 2nd T20I
The pitch at Bready Cricket Club is considered favourable for bowlers. Fast bowlers are likely to get swing and bounce in the early overs. Due to the chances of rain, bowlers might receive extra assistance, making it difficult for batters to score runs.
The team batting first should aim for a total of around 160-170, as chasing in the second innings can be challenging on this pitch—only 10% of chases have been successful here.
Rain is expected on 14th June, and the temperature is likely to hover around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Overcast conditions could further assist the bowlers.
